My weekend to do list

I thought I'd try to give myself some framework for this weekend, in lieu of awaking Saturday morning, rushing about like a nutjob, then suddenly finding myself facing Monday morning without accomplishing anything FUN....

I always manage to get the laundry done, and any cleaning that has to be done done, but..I'm older now, and I want to enjoy my free time as well as tend to domestic responsibilities.

Said the princess....

To Do:

Clean bathrooms.

Do laundry.

Go for a run.

Make cookies.

Fold laundry.

Call Grandma.

Call Auntie.

Do my toes.

Switch out my winter clothes for my summer clothes in my closet.

Take inventory and really get RID of stuff I don't wear. I know what it is, but tend to keep things much longer than I should..

Work in the garden.

Read on the patio..while working on browning the legs a little....

Take a nap with the cat.

Have lunch with the Daughter.

Shop for a graduation picture outfit with Daughter.

Also shop for a graduation dress with Daughter.

Go for another run.

Do yoga. Need to do more yoga.

Meditate at least once.

Watch two movies...and be present while I'm doing so, unless they're not worth it, then go ahead and do the crossword puzzle or crochet during them...

Determine whether the current crochet project is going to be a placemat or something else...

Ok, that's pretty much it.

Have a great weekend!

Hello there 48

And where on earth did 35-47 go??? But I'm being overly dramatic. Again. See, four dozen? Not such a bad place to be when you're me. I've done a lot, I've seen a lot, I've raised a family and landed airplanes and docked yachts and landed (then released of course!) a marlin and climbed mountains and run a LOT of miles and loved deeply and long and hard and felt..so much that, surprisingly did not kill me..that I feel stronger and more centered and energized than in a long time. And I'm blessed with more than one person can ever rightly expect in one lifetime. And I now possess the wisdom to observe a nanosecond longer than I would have 20 years ago before jumping headlong into a new adventure. Which means many less mistakes but still the desire to stretch and grow and be better and more open and generally less judgemental and overall more accepting and mostly, mostly, knowing that this gift of life is precious and special and mine to experience any way ...

It's been a minute

Oh, what a summer it's been! Heat, the likes of which we have never seen seems to be enveloping the planet. They told us this would happen, and it is.  Now what? Is it time to think underground bunkers? To really explore moon colonies? To continue, on an individual basis to do what we feel we can to help the greater effort? We bought a hybrid two years ago. We'll probably buy an electric car once we feel like the infrastructure is in place, but right now, it's not.  We recycle. Glass ( WHO is drinking all of that wine?! I ask myself each time I toss the bottles into the big bin.). Food. We compost all but animal products, and use it in the garden.  Cardboard/cans/plastics go in the recycle bin each Tuesday. My husband thinks the whole recycle thing is a big scam, and that all of the recycling and trash gets taken to the same place - the dump - because there isn't adequate staffing to sort and really carry out the recycle process.  I feel this is a cynical view, but ...

More angst on the unfinished book

Bear with me here, as I'm nearly at a decision point with this project. Really, I am. As I've reread and contemplated writing the finish, then going back and scrubbing and editing like crazy and generally attempting to update a piece I began so long ago, I've become exhausted. Repeatedly. Last night, in a text exchange with Daughter, I explained I'd picked up the manuscript again and was seriously thinking of finishing it. And she replied, 'Mom, you should just start something new. That thing is almost 20 years old now, and you're a completely different person than you were when you started it. Just know that I look forward to a finished project out of you one day, and really, why not go for something more current and stop wasting time on the old stuff you'll practically have to rewrite anyway? ' Out of the mouths of babes, right?
